Love all your comparisons. When I tea dye I lay a table cloth on the kitchen table. Dip the page, then lay a plastic stencil on the wet paper, then spritz it with a spray bottle of tea or instant coffee and it leave it to dry. The stencils leave marks and its pretty cool. I have also put food coloring in a bottle with a small amount of water and spritzed color over the stencil. Fun to see what you get.
thanks Maryann did you see my coffee dyed lace papers? I picked up a large plastic lace tablecloth and omg it makes the best pages go have a look you'll love them (❁´◡`❁) 🦋 hugs Donna
Great tutorial and I'm happy I found your channel. So special that you have your mother's crafting supplies and so sweet that your hubby had such a positive attitude unloading the big hauling truck worth of the treasures. My husband is very sweet but definitely would ask me if I really needed all of it ? :) Yes, is the answer to that. Thank you again for your very informative tutorial.
aw thanks Carolyn I'm happy to meet you! I love having Mums things even to this day she had soooo much, my hubs is amazing and he is giving up a day or 2 if i need it to do a craftroom re-orginise next week!! and it's not even my sugestion lol and of course your answer would be yes to all that lol between you and me i still havent gone through it all ♥︎♡☆🦋 hugs Donna
@@JunkJournalideas Thanks so much for you reply Donna. Wishing you happy crafting and happy reorganizing of your craft room. What a lovely team you and your hubby are! I'll catch you on your other videos :)
I just found this video... extremely helpful in understanding the varied approaches to tea dyed paper. I have tried it in the oven... almost set the paper on fire..so i sun dry outside... but i like how you have explained the difference in colder water versus hot. Thank you for creating this and sharing it.
Glad it was helpful Lawrence! that was a close call! i have had someone tell me it caight fire and wrecked their oven! I only use the oven if it's raining and i urgently need a couple of pieces other wise its always air dryed. thanks for tuning in ♡☆🦋 crafty hugs Donna
Thanks for the oven drying info. I just made a batch of avocado dyed paper. Usually I would lay papers out to dry, but decided to try oven drying which you made sound so easy, & it is. It requires a it more attention [thank goodness for timers on kitchen stoves], but I do like the results. I plan to leave the stacks to thoroughly dry overnight then press the papers under piles of books for a few days to flatten.
Great idea James! I only use the oven method if i need papers done in a hurry and it's winter time, bc as you say it does require more attention for sure. the oven does make them wavey and they do need a little weight to flatten them, sounds like you're all over it, happy creating cheers Donna ☆🦋
Donna, I watched this video when it first came out 1 year ago. Then again now. I had forgotten how easy it was to tea dye your way. So, now that I have committed this video to memory, I will definitely be using the oven method from now on! Thank you so much for sharing ... I absolutely love "your way" 😍
So incredibly helpful, Donna. I love tutorials that show us the visceral evidence of key differences. This helps me to decide. I was sorry to hear about your mother's death; seeing the goodies you inherited made me think about how she'll live on in the lovely things you make. Thank you for sharing your vast talents with us. Crafters like you make the world feel smaller and safer.
TᕼᗩᑎKᔕ ᗩ ᒪOT Jamie It does make a difference to know the difference, I like to have choices and can change my mind depending on what i'm making. I always tell it like it is too no fluff from me lol Oh my Mum (thanks for your thoughts xx) she was the best, she had so much craft, i still find little surprises even today, look at her pic and say "thanks Mum" 🦋 hugs from me Donna
I really enjoy this video. I always oven dry, however, your method of you cutting the paper to size and getting color on all edges is great! Thanks so much.
Very informative thanks, just subscribed. After listening to lots of youtube your accent is so strong lol, I'm in Melbourne 🇦🇺 and yes your oven is gorgeous ❤
!! hi Honie Head !! all the way down in Melbourne :-) thanks for the sub, ha ha I never thought about my accent, Im a bit of a yobbo ay lol. my oven not only looks good it cooks amazing!! I've started a new facebook group if you wanna pop on over facebook.com/groups/JunkJournalideas/ 🦋 cheers Donna
I know this is several years ago but thank you for all the work you put in to show all the options. Awesome video, amazing results. Cheers from Las Vegas ♥️
still watched your tea dyed video and learned something. if you make a travelers note book that you first make your paper to size and then put it in the bath. I learned something again and the water warm that you then the color is more intense I did not know. thank you for this detailed explanation. I always let my paper air dry.there is no why for me.but what a beautiful stove you have Donna.
hey Marthy, you can make your paper to size first, sometimes this makes the paper wavy on the edges and sometimes it lays flat, it depends on if you have a big flat table to lay it out on to air dry. I tea dye my papers in full sheets now and then cut them to size. and yes my stove is amazing!! i have to agree!! ♥︎♡☆🦋 hugs Donna
I'm sorry about the loss of your mom. I really love your thorough tutorials. I add a little bit of glycerin to my dye bath. It seems to make the paper a little bit more durable, though I haven't actually tested that. I'm also going to experiment with some methyl cellulose, and see if that makes the paper less prone to tearing.
thanks for your thoughts and your compliment Suzi xx let me know if you get around to testing bc i have some glycerin sounds interesting for sure ♥︎♡☆ 🦋 hugs Donna
!! Hi Ellie !! Thanks xx i do miss mom so much. I love my crafti g spcae and i am so grateful to have a wonderful hubby that thinks of me and all that paper...🦋 cheers Donna
hey Lil Heavenly Treasures, yes I have used a hair dryer but only to dry one sheet, (if i need one urgent) not a heat gun bc the hair dryer got plenty hot. the air dry is my fav bc i can walk away like you said ♥︎♡☆🦋 hugs Donna
Hi Larry, depends on what you mean by ink? printer ink or pen ink? if you don't wan't ink to bleed or be seen through the other side use a higher grade paper designed for double sided printing. If you want to use it for water color use water colour paper. in saying that you can make other papers work you just need to experiment with your ink pen or printer? cheers Donna
@@JunkJournalideas Thank you very much for your quick response Donna. I should have said I do pen & ink with watercolor journaling. I gather a heavier paper is recommended & I would need to experiment, but it should work. Thank you again.
Fantastic Donna My name’s Scarlett And live in USA loved ur work and yes Your accent is cool 😎 and I like the way to made it I loved it 🤩 And I tried so many videos for trying tho.. but Yours the perfect helped me a lot tysm for ur great help Donna :) keep it up 👍
Thanks so much! Scarlett 😊 I'm still an air dry lover it's my go too unless it's winter and i need it now!! thx!♡ for tuning in and happy crafting 🦋 cheers Donna
Thank you for the tutorial on tea dying paper. I don’t know if you have the distress ink pads but if you do you could use the expresso color or something similar and sponge down the cut edge with it. I thought ironing the paper would flatten but not totally. So I thought maybe a little steam would really flatten it. It’s so crinkly does it chip off or tear more easily now? Also have you tried maybe 65 pd cardstock? So intriguing lol. Thanks again for sharing
thanks for your tips Dottie, I have done the edges with distress ink pads yes it does a lovely job and i only use it for 1 page I don't do this method for several pages though :-) I also don't like ironing my papers so i prefer the air dry method they turn out nice and flat for me now. it doesn't chip or tear any different to un stained paper, however it does tear easy when it's wet :-) i use 85gsm always, it's been lovely comparing techniques ♥︎♡☆🦋 hugs Donna
there's always different opinions on that, I like it better BUT if you want something quick and it's raining and freezing cold, the oven works for a quick fix ♥︎♡☆🦋 hugs Donna
!! hi Michelle !! when i done this oven air vs dried test, it also gave me what your asking as well. the crinkliness of the oven dried is more crinklier in texture and sound than the air dried 🦋 cheers Donna
hey Jacqualine, you will love paper craft! I made this video a while ago I can't remember the temp and time but, it is in the video ♥︎♡☆🦋 crafty hugs Donna
Donna...are you able to help.. I dried my papers in oven, they caught fire and now it seems the oven/heating element TRIPS up since.... I know this isnt a fix-oven channel but im genuinely not able to afford repairs and know I messed up...im reaching out for anyone's help..im desperate and really quite miserable about my grave mistake.
hello Henrietta I'm so sorry to hear that your oven is tripping out, I don't have any electrical knowledge what so ever, BUT I do suggest that you ring an electrician explain what has happened, this won't cost you anything to discuss your safety. from there he/she will advise you what to do, please be careful...hugs Donna
@@JunkJournalideas thanks much Hon! and being in Singapore simple repairs start from $200usd the least...I get that safety is so important but honestly very costly to get help ...will try to figure it out thanks big time and loved yer ideas and video...thanks for helping and sharing...and Blessed New Year to u too!! ❤🙌
hey MythicBooks, I've never used coldbrew before, my guess is yes bc it still releases the tea from the bag just takes longer than hot water. I would even go as far as to use warm to hot water with the coldbrew bag bc i find the paper colours best using warm to hot water. you will still get a colour transfer using cold water, just leave it soak for as long as you need to get the color you like. ♥︎♡☆🦋 hugs Donna
hi Camellia, i can't remember what temp i used its been awhile since i made this video. I think i show the temperature in the video from memory, I do use it on pretty low because my oven runs hot and i only leave it in until its dry. I also prefer to use the air dry method because the paper comes out flatter the oven method is more wavy and needs more work when its dry to flatten it. (❁´◡`❁) 🦋 hugs Donna
Hi Emma, no you don't have to use black tea you get different colours when you change tea, chamomile may give you a more yellow paper where as black tea will give off a more brown/vintage colour, definitely worth making a cuppa tea to try out (❁´◡`❁) 🦋 hugs Donna
I would have to go back and watch it again myself to tell you that Morning Piano? I hardly use the oven now days unless it's winter or raining. what I use is a low temperature just warm (i'm no good with the numbers) and until it's dry or very nearly dry hugs Donna
Hey Bownesz I hardly use the oven i mostly air dry but depending on your oven, use a pretty low setting i use between 100-150, a bit warmer if you want really brown edges. cheers Donna
Hi Sherri, no problems at all, the paper is harmless and the coffee water is all so harmless. I only ever use my oven to dry paper if it's raining or i'm in a rush to get papers that i need right now. other wise i use the air dry method 95% of the time :-) (❁´◡`❁) 🦋 hugs Donna
yep it is, I'm not sure if it will work because the minc has different settings. try one sheet and see if the lamination machine isn't too savage, it just might work 🦋 cheers Donna
i set it on low, i say and show my oven of what it is in the video, I would have to go back and watch it to tell you the exact temp, I air dry on good days and only use the oven if it's raining when i need in a hurry, thanks for tuning in :-) cheers Donna
yes you can Emma, as long as it is straight and not to wavy, sometimes your printer head will hit the wavy paper a bit and spit out inks where you don't want it, watch for that as well, super flat air dried papers are best for putting through your printer, cheers Donna
The oven dry and use of minc machine cost too much electricity power... Also my family is not lucky enough to have a conventional oven. We only have an oven toaster which is quite small. Air dry would be the best option for me (i dont have a choice anyway)
let me tell ya, its very much like that here in Australia, it's rediculous the cost of power, were saving for solar, BTW i'm a fan of air drying 🙏♡☆🦋 crafty hugs Donna
The oven dry really gives it a used look, as if it were an old journal. Very pretty. Although I love both for different reasons.
yes it does add some nice colour for sure, thanks a lot Senpai (❁´◡`❁) 🦋 hugs Donna
Holy cow...that oven!!! Wow, wow, wow! I am jealous!! 😃

yep it is, I'm not sure if it will work because the minc has different settings. try one sheet and see if the lamination machine isn't too savage, it just might work 🦋 cheers Donna
It did work and I was able to feed through 3 sheets folded equating to 6 sheets.
@@grandmasmagic3858 thanks for letting me know Carol thats great anything that makes it quicker and easier is good news :-)
I use the microwave!! It takes just 1 minute!!! Easy and stress less,try it!!!
Gday Maracuya, I will try it anything that dries quickly i'm all ears. thx!♡ for tuning in and happy crafting 🦋 cheers Donna
@@JunkJournalideas love 😘
How many pieces of paper do you put at a time ?
Baby witch here I'm going to try to air dry as I'm still young and haven't done this before
hey Baby witch yes, use the air dry method i love it the best, it gives a great result hugs Donna
@@JunkJournalideas thank you your video was super useful
any time @@fairy_wonderland5372 :-)
You're practicing witch craft???
@@seangwynethvaldehueza3936 yes
But what do you se the oven to
i set it on low, i say and show my oven of what it is in the video, I would have to go back and watch it to tell you the exact temp, I air dry on good days and only use the oven if it's raining when i need in a hurry, thanks for tuning in :-) cheers Donna
Can you print on this paper?
yes you can Emma, as long as it is straight and not to wavy, sometimes your printer head will hit the wavy paper a bit and spit out inks where you don't want it, watch for that as well, super flat air dried papers are best for putting through your printer, cheers Donna
Junk Journal ideas thank you so much for this Donna
@@emmalee4520 no probs at all
I love your Australian accent! Sounds very royal haha
!! hi AmbitousMuslim Recodings !! your so sweet, Im on my best behaviour when i'm recording ha ha 🦋 cheers Donna
You could also hand Iron the paper after it's dried from the oven to get it smoother/flatter .
yes Sheryl I have tried that too thanks for the tip happy crafting 🦋 cheers Donna
The oven dry and use of minc machine cost too much electricity power... Also my family is not lucky enough to have a conventional oven. We only have an oven toaster which is quite small. Air dry would be the best option for me (i dont have a choice anyway)
Air dry is better
In my case, id probably get hit on the head if i was found baking paper 🤣🤣 . So air dry for me also. 🤦🏽♀️🤷🏾♀️
TfS xx
!! Hi Debbie !! You're very welcome, I still smell like tea lol, cheers donna
I'm in the UK. We can't afford to use the oven to dry paper! Or iron.
let me tell ya, its very much like that here in Australia, it's rediculous the cost of power, were saving for solar, BTW i'm a fan of air drying 🙏♡☆🦋 crafty hugs Donna
Tfs
!! hi Janette !! your welcome cheers Donna
Air dry is better. Not so brittle. Does not crack so quickly
I totally agree Hedge_ca thanks for tuning in ♥︎♡☆🦋 cheers Donna
